Announcement    Ammi Eggs
I started making “Faberge” eggs in North Carolina in 1972 while my husband was stationed at Pope Air Force base. Eggery in the south was big back then. I learned to hinge duck eggs, with doors, and put music boxes inside. I even made a couple of Ostrich egg clocks. What I loved making most were the little chicken eggs covered with fabric and little scenes inside. When I moved to the Monterey Peninsula I sold my eggs at a Christmas store in Carmel and at The La Playa Hotel Christmas show where Maggie Eastwood (Clint’s wife) bought personalized egg ornaments for their children.

I stopped making eggs as life went on, but always kept a supply of miniatures. In 2014 I brought out my supplies and made a batch for Artistic Portland, a Co-op store for artists in Portland Oregon. I love making these little ornaments. They are very sturdy and have two layers of glue plus a layer of “diamond dust”. My friends and family have had these ornaments for 40 years and bring them out every year to hang on their tree.

"My eggs have held places of honor in my holiday decorations since I received them.... about 45 years ago. ;). Honestly I'm shocked they all survived this long, but I'm so glad they did!"

"Collectors items! I enjoy getting mine out every year and think of you!!
It's amazing these fragile eggs have lasted all this time"

I hope you enjoy them too!

In my Co-op, Artistic Portland Gallery, in Portland Oregon I sell felted scarves, hand dyed silk scarves, cat toys, felted soaps, and my Ammi Eggs. https://www.artisticportlandgallery.com

Right now I am selling my eggs on Etsy. If you wish to comunicate about my scarves or soaps send me a message.

If you give me a week I can make a customized egg ornament with the year and or name. I am limited regarding the little characters that go inside.


If you are in Portland I have my felted items at Artistic Portland, a fabulous artist co-op store at 4110 NE Fremont st. Portland OR.

I give 10% of my sales to Partners in Health, Paul Farmers Organization in Haiti. "Mountains Beyond Mountains" is a wonderful book about Paul and his good works.
